Which airline do you want to use?

ethiopian airlines, they are pocket friendly

hello house, are they still strict on asking for birthing receipts on subsequent trips to the usa. we forgot the receipts and would enter the USA from a 3rd country in a couple of days time, so not enough time ror means to send the physical receipts.

alternatively do they accept/look at soft copies of the receipt at poe, cos thats the plan b. have someone forward the receipts via email

pointednose:
So sorry about that. You can reapply, sometimes these things are not cast in stones, and also may depend on the VO

I did and I got it.

flourishing247:


Sorry, I mixed up my reply. Current date is 2024 for appointment.

Nawa ooh

OK. I thought qatar was cheaper although a bit far.

Neroolu:
Hi pls can i get an early date for next year for visa renewal interview?
Because the dates i am seeing are November and December 2024

Renewal right? Yes I believe so although the method has changed a bit. You apply on your profile then wait for approval to schedule appointment.

Nawa ooh

The earlier you apply the better.

Anyone know what time they usually open the schedule for appointements? I keep getting this message - There are currently no appointments available

Greetings to the house, please I would love to get helpful information on how to go about my case. I got admission for my Masters program in USA to resume January 09, 2022. The earliest available date was January 04, 2024 so I have booked that and hoping to request an expedited appointment. Please I would appreciate to get useful information on how to get expedited appointment for my USA student visa application. For those who have got expedited appointment please can you put me through on what to do. Thank you

Good day, I filled my form by myself and have an agent my password to get a date cause it’s been stressful getting interview waiver date.

I logged in today and this is what I saw. I don’t know what he clicked as he is yet to answer me.

He most likely applied for emergency appointment for you, and will follow it up through the back channels, expect a mail for interview btw 2 to 4wks....if the agent has solid connect

Something you could have just done yourself. This is the same with anyone for IW. Keep checking your profile for approval to pick date.

Pls bro did he ask you for any documents?

Hi all, does this passport tracker status mean that the passport is with DHL? Any idea of a timeline within which one should expect to get the passport back after this stage? Thanks in advance.

ghettonews:

He didn’t ask for any document. Few of my friends as well, no one asked them for any document.

Keep checking your email and your profile. I got the same message last two weeks and an email on the same day advising that my request had been approved and I could log into my profile to schedule an appointment. I got options on my profile to choose a date afterwards. All documents have now been submitted and I am currently awaiting a decision on my application. All the best!

Hello good people of Nairaland,

Please can frequent travelers advise on the reliable and pocket friendly airlines to fly this December?

based on your experience. kindly advise

Hello great people of nairaland.

i need your help on a matter that bothers me a bit, and will appreciate answers that come from a place of experience or knowledge, if its possible for me to get a VO repsonse, i'ld really appreciate.

So here's the thing, i applied to the U.S 5 years go 2017, and got a visa. i went on vacation and came back after after 10 days.
the Year of birth on my passport was 1985 (correct age.)


in 2019 the visa expired, and i tried to renew, on same passport but unfortunately got denied. (this was during the trump era when getting a visa was extremely difficult.


in 2020, i applied for a new passport (B series) (as old passport had expired), there was a mistake, and the year of birth on the new passport is 1989. day and month is still the same, only the year of birth changed. i tied to modify the year of birth back to my correct age 1985, but the people at the passport office say Age cannot be modified on this new b series passport.

here goes my dilema........ i want to apply for a US visa now, and im confused on what to do, as The records i have with them (U.S embassy) for my approved and denied visa is 1985 and my current passport has 1989. (day and month of birth is the same)

how do i navigate this? do i apply with my current passport (which reads 1989) and tell them there was an error on it? or what do i do??



i need your help guys.

l will advice you get a new passport because if you were ten printed(biometrics) the last time at the embassy ,once you are ten print this time around the system will immediately flag your year of birth. I have heard of people who were denied for just one day difference in their birthdays. You wouldn't want to go through that. Just imagine waiting until december 2024 for interview only to be denied for this.

You do not have a problem with the US embassy, your problem lies with the Immigration service. Before your new passport was produced, they usually tell you to confirm your details before signing. This must have been an oversight on your part.

Now that the wrong has been done, it is not impossible to correct data on any type of passport, it is only stressful and expensive. I think it can only be done in the Abuja head quarters office.

Check the immigration portal for details on data modification, apply to modify your data before applying for a new visa.

My two cents

"Unfortunately " it is always very challenging to change errors on passport. You have to go to Abuja for it to be corrected. I even heard it is only the comptroller that gives the OK. That's why they ask you to cross-check it before they submit. I will advise you make the corrections. US embassy is big on data, they don't joke with it. Don't go to the embassy with the new passport.

Qatar airways
Ethiopian.
Rwanda Air

There's no excuse for this kinda mistake at any embassy, it's a big one. The correction should be made from the immigration office in Abuja. It actually costs some 6 digits and time to get done. Wish you luck.

Modifications of an enquiry i sent to a friend but yet to get a response.

I need some informed opinions please


I stay in Leeds UK right now. I graduated as a doctor but I'm not yet board certified here in the UK and so not practicing medicine yet.

UK is grappling with high cost of living amidst low wage and so i am contemplating moving to the US.
I could get a 2yr visiting visa to the US but what are the odds that I can easily convert that to resident status/greencard?

What might be the challenges that I need to factor in?

1. I am married and so I'm not looking to marry anyone else there
2 USMLE is a lengthy, grilling and expensive process and so i am planning that route for later not now

Cheers

It will be tougher in the USA.

It’s easier to qualify for the uk boards. Why is he not concentrating on that ?
